As an Arizona resident it has been interesting, sad, startling and clear what would happen as Martha McSally sold her soul for this election. She is like a Lindsey Graham Junior. If she should pull out an unlikely win, and Trump lose, it will be interesting to see who purchases her next. Very sad and pathetic person. And the death knell for her is her persistent lying about Mark Kelly, her Democratic Challenger. Mark Kelly, former Naval Officer and Astronaut, and husband of our very beloved former Congresswoman, Gabriel Giffords brings Joe Biden's brand of decency and healing to Arizona. Gabriel Giffords was shot in the head in 2011 at an outdoor constituent meeting. 18 others were shot and 6 people died, including a 9 year old girl. Gabbie resigned as our Congresswoman in 2012 to devote her time to her rehabilitation. The most poignant political ads I have ever seen are of Mark and Gabbie at home. Gabbie speaks to us about Mark's commitment to family and country. As she speaks in a very careful and halting manner, due to her permanent disabilities, I cry every time I watch it. This couple has given almost everything to serve our country and yet the GOP and Martha McSally blast hateful lies about them around the clock. All I need to keep going in this endless election is to think of this brave and faithful couple. Please Vote Blue Across the Board. Don't let any of these people off the hook. They are not Americans. We are Americans.
It is rather ironic that the Republican candidates who try to emulate DT's negative hateful manner just can't pull it off and their campaigns fail. Mark Kelly and Gabbie Giffords don't have to emulate anyone; their decency and love of country is the essence of who they are -- the finest of Americans. Yes, Vote for America!
Ditto re Kelly Loeffler in GA. She seems like a total cave-in. It is astounding to watch women like her, McSally, Collins, and (even, sadly) Murkowski, refuse to speak truth to power. I cannot think of a single woman I've known during these seven decades I've walked planet Earth who are, apparently, so desperately frightened of "losing" power, influence, etc. This current crop of female politicians are blind to what they've already lost. Each has lost her moral compass, is devoid of integrity, and has no claim on even a slice of moral high ground.
But don't laugh. Remember that ignorance, along with gullibility, are the hallmarks of Trump's supporters. I doubt than many of them have the slightest idea of who Erdogan is or the significance of the numbers concerning the Coronavirus' decreasing death rate but increasing postivity percentages among the increasing number being tested. (That means more infections and an ever increasing spread of the virus.) These folks are just dumb (look at them not wearing masks and in close contact at rallies) and are the intended audience of that Seattle newspaper's endorsement of Trump in the same breath as they condemn his actions. Only the ignorant and gullible fall for this and that describes Trump's support ... and it is still enough to determine the election's results.
I've made a little list of personal characteristics that predict whether a person is a Republican voter. If a person is rich, venal, short-sighted, sociopathic, un-or-poorly educated, or stupid, they are more likely to be a Republican, and any combination of those characteristics makes it even more likely. (Combine them all and you get Trump himself.)
Well, folks, I've donated all the money I have to donate, written all the "Register to Vote" postcards I can mail, talked with all the people I can talk with, and posted messages on all the boards I belong to. Oh, and I've voted, too.
If I weren't committed to work the polls on the 3rd, wearing an N95 mask from 5a to god-knows-when, I'd just sit in a closet with a bottle of gin and wait for the world to end. On the 4th, I think that's exactly what I'll do.
Thank you for your priceless service here, Dr. Richardson, and thanks to all the earnest, thoughtful, and cogent posters here. I think I'm done.
I don't agree trumpers are all dumb - they have been cleverly, methodically conned, and tRump is the cheerleader. Why are they so "con-able ?" So easily stoked? Voting against their very own interests? We need to answer and address these questions to kmow how to stop the hate. Also, put the evil ringleaders in jail, take away Fox's "entertainment" license, pull all false ads off TV...
I am stunned, stunned I tell you, LOL, that Americans allow and explosive level of lies to be fed to us for elections. I know we have allowed businesses to bury us under lies about our food, our vehicles, the value of our insurance, etc. But we may as well pick a spot to begin the undoing. Zero tolerance for lying political ads.
I remember that horrific event in 2011. Thank you, Linda, for highlighting the back story of Gabbie with her husband, Mark. Been contributing to Mark's campaign. Hope he wins!
You have McSally confused with an actual human being. She never had a soul to sell, being one of the "lizard people" John Carpenter was dealing with when he made that movie back in the 80s about the magic pair of sunglasses that let the wearer see reality and realize the lizard people were everywhere.
Linda, you read my comment on democrats turnout performance in Miami-Dade For more on that, see Politico 10/29 article Marc Caputo and Mr. Dixon. Hillary lost FLA even though she was + 29 points in South FLA. Joe is not close to that. FYI, I am also from Arizona, and share your sentiments about McSally. However, I seem to be catching the drift about Trump getting conservative Hispanic votes. Mark is doing well against McSally, but the presidential race here in AZs is toss up. If dems Hispanic turnout in AZ is as bad as in South Florida, look for depressed Hispanic turnout breaking for Trump.
Terrifying. I know that many immigrants from many ethnicities can be very conservative and also very anti-immigrant. It is hard to get a handle on how to convince people who suffered under the problems of another country. I have a lot of immigrant friends with zero tolerance for illegal immigrants. I guess they can separate Trump's rapists and murderers comments as the domain of illegal immigrants. I spent time this week trying to convince my gardener, who is naturalized, not to give up, and to work with his family and friends to vote for Biden. I feed Professor Richardson's letters each day to Hispanic friends to pass along to friends, family and neighbors. We need better ways to communicate with communities and neighborhoods than just cold calling registered dems. Here's to pulling it off on Tuesday!
Did you see the Selser polls out if Iowa? Iowa going republican pres and senate. First time Trump has been ahead in Selzer poll. Its a big deal because Selzer was first poll to pick up on Trump 2016 wave. Selzer actually says its results are looking just like they did in 2020. Trump is up by 7. This is grim news. We will see what the professor says about this tomorrow..

Kelly Loeffler claims that she has never heard of the “Access Hollywood” piece. How convenient.
Her claim of ignorance is so disingenuous, it's laughable...

Here's hoping we are drinking ourselves sick on the 4th out of relief.
The endorsement was from a Spokane newspaper—not Seattle.

She's another Trump toady, and has learned well from him.

Mark Kelly is a good man and an American Hero. While I am a Michigander, I know he will represent Arizona well.
Well said - thank you.

The polls are making me dizzy. lol
And apologies for not being able to correct Gabbie to Gabby. Wish we could edit.
